Apple Watch re: SVT, mainly PSVT, of the AVNRT variety

Because of the title of this topic, I will put my question here (I have other posts related to SVT, but my question today is only about Apple Watch.)
My research shows that the Apple Watch is NOT satisfactory for high heart rate alarms as stated by everyone that has written in many various forums. Am I wrong?
The standard complaint is that you have to have the high heart rate for 10 minutes. Plus you must be inactive for the alarm to occur therefore no alarm is possible during any exercise during the day, even walking around the house!
So, I am forced to use a third party app to give me my "anytime" alarm set at any value I wish at any time or location or activity I wish. Plus my app must alarm within 30 seconds! Not 10 minutes!
Question: Has anyone overcome the Apple watch app high heart rate alarm deficiencies?

Please ignore my comment above asking about the Apple watch heart rate app. I get too wrapped up in apps sometimes. I already have the 3rd party iPhone/watch app for high bpm that I like to use, so why worry about Apple's bpm app?
